Profile:
As Syed Kirmani was nearing the end of his career in the mid 80s the
search for a suitable successor started in real earnest. And among a
bunch of likely contenders, Sadanand Viswanath surged ahead to take
the stumper's spot in the World Championship of Cricket in 1985 and on
the tour to Sri Lanka later that year. Unfortunately, apart for a few
more ODI's, that remained the extent of his international
career. Which was a pity for on his day, he could be brilliant. Young
and aggressive in his approach with a screaming appeal to boot,
Viswanath typified the cricketer's outlook of the
period. Unfortunately he could also be just flashy and inconsistent
and his batting was not in keeping with the kind of consistent scores
he made in domestic cricket. However even in his brief Test career he
was responsible for a record - he took six catches against Sri Lanka
in his final Test to equal the Indian mark. (Partab Ramchand)
